Year 7 - Ancient Greece

The students in Year 7 will spend five days off timetable creating a puppet show which will inform their peers about an aspect of Ancient Greece.


This is a collaborative project in conjunction with the Arts and Individuals and Societies departments.

Overview of the Project

The Year 7 students will be working in small teams to inform their peers about an aspect of Ancient Greece. They will be asked to explore areas that could include myths and legends, the Olympics, women in Ancient Greece, important battles etc. The students will hone their research skills, explore how to create a story board, design and make puppets, discover how to write a script and share their new knowledge by learning how to create a Google Site.
